According to recent data from Copernicus, the EU’s climate change office, global temperatures last year averaged nearly 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, an extraordinarily high level, reports RTE.
A number of record-breaking conditions are highlighted in the paper, such as the hottest month ever recorded and daily average world temperatures that momentarily rise above pre-industrial levels by more than 2C.
The average temperature of last year was 14.98C, 0.17C hotter than the previous record set in 2016, reports RTE.
A year beyond this does not imply that the pact has failed because this measurement is used as a decadal average.
Antarctic sea ice has been at an all-time low, and July 2023 was probably the hottest month in the last 120,000 years—nearly as long as modern people have existed, reports RTE.
